Busy scene at Birtley - just South of Tyne Yard. WD on the Down Slow with empties from Consett to Low Fell, 9f approaches on the Up slow with vans for Whitemoor, EP for the Cross on the Up Fast, & a pair of Lowmacs are shunted on the incline towards the Caterpillar factory.]
Hi Lewisner,
pleased that you like my screenies, having been a trainzer for some time now I have followed your sterling work along with that of numerous other contributors. I think that its great to see recreations of the NE railways & industries on the computer screen, this is not only a game but has become an educational visual history that potentially can be easily accessible to many youngsters who may be reluctant to pick up books or visit museums.
Those signal box reskins are brilliant works of art - I hope to get my technophobe brain round it one day but in the meantime I`m just knocking buildings together in meccano mode, constantly looking for useful odds & sods on the dowload station. (Got to admit that it is fun though & I quite enjoy the construction side more than the actual train operations).
The project I`ve embarked upon is to convert the TRS2012 ECML creation into a 1960`s version between Retford & Newcastle, but that may have yet to be shortened due to computer capacity. So far I have `oldyfied` between Darlington Sta & Birtley North but still have to complete the complex constructions of Mainsforth & Chester Moor collieries. Undecided whether or not to retain Tyne Yard or do an earlier version, so I may jump that area for the time being & proceed from Low Fell northwards.
Will your project include routes towards the coast such as Penshaw - South Dock & Washington - Harton jnc? It looks interesting & I am looking forward to more good screenies.
Regards
BOGIEMAN
